What Do You Wacky Rig?

Featured Replies

For me I start with zoom finesse, senko, ZinkerZ, used power worms without ribbon tail.

What do you use on that wacked out rig?

  • Super User

Bama Bug Senko

SK ocho, BPS stiko, Big bite bait trick stick, Yum dinger,  Wave worm Tiki stick

Senkos!  I have tried two other low-price brands of finesse worms and they didn't seem to do as well as the Senko.  I have more faith in that bait/presentation than probably any other, though I can honestly say I don't enjoy fishing it as much as a jig, crank bait, etc.

 

You have to admit, it just flat-out works.

 

Tight lines,

I'll wacky a bunch of different things.

 

Even stuff you aren't "supposed" to wacky....

Like lizards :smiley:

 

Mostly Zoom Finesse, Trick worms, Senkos, 

BPS Stik-Os, and the like.

 

I'll also wacky flukes.

Havoc flat dawgs and money makers. 4" and 6" Havoc Bottom Hoppers.

Trick worms 1st. Senkos 2nd. Fluke Sticks 3rd

senko's or senko "type" (other brands)

When the nose of the bait gets torn up, wacky rig it.

  • Super User

Senkos, Dingers and Zoom trick worms.

 

Will wacky rig a finesse worm from time to time, too.

Money maker

Yum dinger.

My favorite is a baby bass GY Senko

That is the ONE thing I'll use a senko for, but only with the O-ring trick otherwise they're the least durable bait of all time and everybody and their mother throws them.

  • Super User

Zoom Finesse worms first, Zoom Trick worms second and Senko/knockoffs a distanct third.

 

Thousands of catches have shown me that bass like the finesse worms the best.

I here that word finesse alot with diffrent things is it a brand name

Finesse means a down sized bait, thinner and shorter usually.

My friends like to stick little 4" finesse worms on there, and they enjoy some productivity. I prefer Dingers.

Buy several bags.............they are even less durable than GYCB Senkos. Which is not a bad thing at $2.99, thank god they are not $7.99 like Gary's sticks. I just wish they came in a 4" size..........but that's where the Havoc Money Maker comes in ;)

 

 To be honest with you, when I first tried the Flat Dawgs...........I kind of hated them, and stuck to Dingers and/or Big Bite sticks. Then one day I was out of both, remembered I had some Flat Dawgs in the burried bowels of the boat, got them out and have been using them ever since, and I don't plan on going back to the Dingers anytime soon. I'll still keep some of the round Big Bite sticks around, because there are just some things a flat, fragile stick bait is not good at. #1 is punching.............yes,I like to punch with stick/heavy weight pegged to the nose when the big jig or creature bait bite has died. Those fish are still there and often times that's just the ticket for me. The Flat Dawg doesn't hold up coming in and out of the cover, and you'll be changing baits often, even without  getting bit. A BB stick will at least last till the first fish or two.

Gyb senkos and roboworm fat straight tail worms.

Like WW2 said, buy plenty. I've lost a ton of them on the first cast because they just came off when I tried to skip them under a dock. It's frustrating but they're only $3 a bag and they flat out catch fish, best wacky rig bait I've used when I can keep them on the hook.
